Here's the lightly edited review:
Fantastic tiramisu. The layer of powdered chocolate overwhelms you (in a surprising yet satisfying way), followed by a comforting layer of cream. It feels like a fresh blanket of snow on the driveway after a cold winter night. The only downside was that I could not taste much rum (if any) in the tiramisu.
Coffee was average, nothing to shout about.
It is tucked away in a corner of the basement in Clarke Central, making it a pleasant place for contemplation and probably to read a book on your day off.
I would come back again if in the vicinity.

One of the best tiramisus I've tried in SG. I've patronised them as far back as 10 years ago, and their tiramisu is still as good as I remember. I got the dark cherry 🍒 flavour and I really enjoyed it!

This is one of my go-to places for tiramisu. Every place has **its** own special renditions of tiramisu. Here, I highly recommend the Lavender & Earl Grey tiramisu. I also tried their pistachio tiramisu. Their other flavours look attractive too. May I suggest that the baker create injeolmi tiramisu too? After **my experiences in Korea, its culture,** and Kdramas, I have a really bad craving for injeolmi tiramisu.

The tiramisu is good; it's moist, not overly sweet, and definitely properly soaked in espresso. However, the drinks here aren't really great. Also, the limited seating and space feel a bit cramped, so the ambiance isn't the best. I will definitely be back to try their other flavours, like the creme brûlée and pistachio.

They offer many varieties of tiramisu cakes. I ordered two types, and the taste was okay. The space is a bit small, and seating is limited. It's better for take-away.

It’s really difficult to find a good tiramisu—the blend of coffee and that subtle hint of alcohol is so important. This place absolutely nailed it. I’ll definitely be buying it again the next time I’m in the area.

$9.80 per slice of cake. The tiramisu (pistachio) is not bad, but tastes about the same as the normal one. The dark cherry is nicer than the pistachio. Overall, it's worth the money for quality tiramisu. It's an indulgence occasionally.

We came for dessert after lunch and ordered three types of tiramisu: pistachio, brûlée, and classico. All were similar, but the pistachio stood out slightly. Priced at $9.90 per slice, it's a bit pricey, but worth it for the cake quality, service, and café environment. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, though not something we would do often.

Located in the basement of Clarke Quay Central, this cafe specializes in tiramisu! I had the Lychee tiramisu, with a strong taste of lychee liqueur (might be a bit bitter on first bite, but gradually blends into the sweetness).
Other unique flavours include Pistachio, Matcha, or even Brulee. Perhaps try another time!

Really good tiramisu. I ordered the Classico (9.80). Creamy, moist, rich, and with a nice hint of coffee. I have walked past this shop many years ago and wondered how a specialty shop like this could survive in The Central. Today I finally tried it and fully understood — it’s really good tiramisu.

The café is small and quaint, easily accessible from the MRT (CQ). We ordered the Classico Piccolo for 2 people and adored its taste; it was alcoholic and creamy with just enough bite to be noticeable. My only gripe would be the inability to pay with PayWave, but otherwise, everything is excellent.

We ordered the pistachio and classico tiramisu to-go ($9.80), and rated it 9/10.
Their tiramisu is on the light, fluffy side, with ladyfingers that are beautifully soaked in espresso (moist but never soggy). The espresso flavor is aromatic, and we were told there's a touch of 2% alcohol, which added a subtle bittersweet edge to the dessert.
The mascarpone was mild, and the cream was light and airy, rather than rich and pronounced. This made the tiramisu so easy to enjoy that we could easily devour the entire slice without feeling overwhelmed.
The Classico is a traditional tiramisu with a dusting of bittersweet cocoa powder on its pillowy and delicate cake.
The Pistachio tiramisu, on the other hand, really stood out. It was topped generously with crunchy pistachio nuts, giving it both texture and a lovely nuttiness that paired wonderfully with the creamy layers.

Tried the tiramisu here and both flavors were outstanding.
The Classico Tiramisu had a strong coffee flavor with just the right balance of sweetness and bitterness. The creamy cheese and coffee-soaked biscuit were perfect together.
The Pistachio Tiramisu was rich and smooth, topped with crushed pistachios and a hint of cherry liqueur that complemented the coffee base beautifully.
Both were so good that one piece wasn't enough.

Stepped into the place about an hour before closing, so the store was fairly quiet. Only two tables were occupied: mine and another group's. Service was okay; it's a pay-and-pickup model after choosing your slices.
Got the original and the pistachio. Original was good. Pistachio was interesting, but its flavour was very faint. Overall, it was a good experience. I'd come back to try other flavours!

One of the best tiramisu I’ve ever tasted in Singapore!
Found this little cozy shop at the basement of The Central @ Clarke Quay. The price is slightly on the higher side, but you definitely get what you pay for — high-quality ingredients and excellent taste. The free ice water is a thoughtful touch and much appreciated.
Highly recommended for tiramisu lovers!
